I use a website called photobucket.com to upload, manage and resize all of my photos. I find it pretty easy and you might too. Give it a go.

what? come on you guys. If you don't have anything fancy in the program department just use ms paint or windows photo viewer. They both have a re-sizing in the edit menu and both these programs come with windows.

just use microsoft paint. crop/edit pic. then select resize image (30-40%) usually works. if you do not want to change original image, just save under "save as"
easy and free.

Greg... I think vwsteve meant "ex-panel beater" as in he used to be someone who takes cars with bent panels and makes them straight again.... not your recent high-speed trick of taking a straight car and bending all its panels !!!

I think you panel beaters just spend way to much time playing with your dollies

Nothing wrong with playing with dollies, although some of mine have had a bit of a hammering over the last 50 years.😏

ok guys after a bit of digging.
found this one.
http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=21004 and in it it states
"Aussieveedubbers offers free 90 day storage of images less than 50 kb in size. If you want to keep a permanent avatar or put in bigger pictures, you need to use your own web space. “

and "In all cases, you should still resize your images to be about 640x480 in size or no more than 50 kB as many members are on modem and really hate long page load times.

Avatars should be no more than 100x100 pixels in size, and this equates to less than 10 kB in size. Any link to external avatars over that size will be removed from your profile. “
so its not a new thing and has been this way since 2004
